Welcome to PLANTED Study + Introductions

Welcome!

PLANTED begins tomorrow! Prepare to open God’s Word and discover the bounty of His harvest. No matter what season you are in – sowing seeds of faith, being pruned by your Vinedresser, growing deep roots in a time of testing or gathering the ripe fruits of harvest, I pray God will reveal Himself afresh as we study together.   

HOW ONLINE STUDY WORKS

Every Monday, I will post the bible study session along with a downloadable study guide for digging further in the Word. Throughout the week I will feature guest writers, challenge you to memorize scripture or share a favorite worship song. If you are a subscriber, posts will be delivered to your inbox or rss feeder. Otherwise, come back and check out the website!

The first bible study session begins tomorrow, February 1^st!

CREATING COMMUNITY

One value missed in a personal, individual online study is the interaction and fellowship with other women. I thoroughly enjoy hearing people’s take on scripture or personal stories because it often expands and deepens my own knowledge of the content.

To foster community here, you are invited to share your thoughts, insights and perspectives by commenting posts.

Commenting opens doors for discussion. As other readers see your comments, they can respond, pray or gather new insight. You never know who you “touch” simply by leaving a comment.

Commenting is also an excellent tool for accountability. By setting a goal to interact and engage in the discussion, you will become an active participant. It indirectly forces you to ponder the text, form an opinion about what you have heard and then respond.

Commenting provokes thought, particularly if you are responding by offering a different or opposing viewpoint.

Commenting connects you with other women in the study. The more people that comment, the greater sense of community is created.

Commenting can be anonymous, but always done with love and respect for the writer and other readers!

Commenting is not required!
